The Overlook Chardonnay is pretty much a sure-thing year after year, though I have to say I clearly prefer the 2007 to the 2008 vintage for this wine. The 2008 is very soft and open-knit, with attractive vanilla-tinged tropical and orange-peel aromas, a clean and refreshing mouth feel, and lingering soft white fruit flavors. Easy to drink and straightforward, but it doesn't seem to have the grip of some of the earlier vintages. - HK 2011-05-25
